What You Need to Know About Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

Wedding invitations are a big deal. Long after the wedding ends people hold onto the invitations. The overall production and class of the wedding is also first presented in the invitation. Because the rehearsal dinner is such a key part of the wedding, the rehearsal dinner invitations also hold a special meaning. This will also become a treasured memory and take a place in the family treasure chest.

The recipient list is very important in the scheme of things. It's pretty simple. Wedding rehearsal dinner etiquette requires that all those who have a place in the wedding receive an invite to the rehearsal dinner. This will be the bridal party, the bride's parents and groom's parents, and other close people the couple to be would like to invite. Don't forget the priest, minister or official who oversees the ceremony. Remember, this isn't something for all the wedding guests, but rather for all the people who play a role in the ceremony whether they helped planned it, or will walk the aisle or participate in another way.

There are a lot of options for designing and printing these invitations. Often the same artist who designs the wedding invitations designs these. That's a good choice. The fewer service providers with a hand in the wedding the better. This will also mean a consistent look between all the invitations. The same shop might have great ideas on a pattern to work off the main invitations. Remember too that bulk means cheaper. Because more work is done, there may be a small discount. This dinner, though, is usually planned and executed by the groom's parents. While the bride and groom will be involved in every aspect of the wedding, the groom's parents may feel more special if they can deal with these invitations outside the parameters of the actual wedding invitations. A slightly different design might also add some variety and spice to the wedding.

A big part of the wedding is the rehearsal dinner. It's almost like a free throw in basketball. A poor job on the rehearsal dinner invitations can spell disaster, while a good job can make the wedding shine.
